CHICAGO, November S.-The last delega~
tion to wait on the Governor with petit
tions for clemency for the condemned An
arch lists, left the city to night. Capt.
Black was asked il ne had any real hope
that the Governor would interfere with
the sentence. He replied that ne was
quite confident that clemency would be
extended to Schwab and Fielden, il not
the others ''0f course" said he, there
is no hope for Lingg. He has signed his
own DOOM"
SIN case of an execution, will the men
be attended by ministers?'
Captain Black said: "These men have
religion of their own and do not want any
ministers of the gospel. They are not re-
igious in the common sense of that
term, but agnostics; not atheists, remem-
ber."
Miss Van Zandt had a brief interview
with Spies through the netting of the
lawyers cage. Mrs. Schwab, Mrs. Fielden,
Mrs. EDgel and Mrs. Fischer were in the
visitors cage, and had a brief conversation
with their husbands. Mrs. Fielden had
her children with Ter, and the meet
ing between Fielden and his family was
quite affecting.
FIELDEN's PLEA.
In addition to the Joint letter of Spies,
Fielden and Schwab, deploring the loss of
life at the Haymarket and dlsaYowing the
use of force, the former employers of
Fielden have secured from him separate
letter to the Governor, confessing that he
had been guilty of using extravagsnt and
unjustifable language, which he now re-
grets, and saying that he recants and disa-
vows all his loyalty to the doctrine that
the wrongs of any class of society should
be righted by violence. Judge Gary, with
States Attorney Grinnell and the latter's
assistant, Mr.. Ingham, have indorsed upon
the application their views in the case. n
Lawyer Foster, acting for Schwab, has
pursued a very similar course, and has Sc
cured q recognition of whatever claims
Schwab may have to Communication from
Messrs. Grinnell and Ingham. 1t may be
said with confidence that Judge Gary and
Mr.. Grinnell will take no steps in favor of
the commutation Uf any other of the con-
demned men.
ENeEL's PLANS.
A suggestion of the revolving incidents
that may at any moment happen in the
county Jail prior to the execution of the
Anarchists. was developed this afternoon
when Eneel sent out to his wife what was,
to all appearances, q basket of dirty dishes
and very soiled linen. Although the stuff
was not going to, but from the Anarchists,
one of the deputies became suspicious of
EngePs solicitude concerning the rubbish.
Institutipg a hurried search, the
official soon saw the cause OF En-
gels anxiety. Hidden away among the
filth-sR card contents of the basket was
secret note in German to the Anarchists
Grabbed looking little wife, who stood close
at hand watching with strange eagerness.
As the crumbled paper was brought forth,
she and Engel exchanged glances, and then
turned slowly away. The note stated
briefly that EDgel would again attempt
suicide before Friday. and that he would
never die on the gallows. Immediately
precautions were ordered taken, so that
heDoefcrth every move of Engel from now
till he goes to the scaffold will be within
arm reach of guard.
